About The Book

The third in the Dark Fates series, featuring a love triangle between Ares, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus.

Bonds once formed can never be broken, but after lifetimes of pain and heartache, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, is determined to find a way. Shackled in a millennia-long love triangle between Hephaestus, God of the Forge, and Ares, God of War, the toll on their ravaged hearts is too much for any of them to bear. Aphrodite makes the choice to leave them both and break the cycle.

When a dire battle leaves Aphrodite Bond-sick, a death sentence for Olympians, Hephaestus and Ares rush to her aid. Sworn enemies, the gods are thrust into a series of trials meant to shatter them. But they are determined to save her, even if that means working and living together. As animosities collide, unexpected emotions emerge, the boundaries between love and hate blurring as they attempt to forge a new path, together.

Of Forges & Fury, the third in this dark romantasy series, grapples with love and war in a dizzying dance of passion and conflict.

Raves and Reviews

"Kraven, in this delicious forbidden romance...dives into the booming subgenre of high-heat retellings of Greek myths.... Kraven’s world feels dark but lived-in, and both the central romance and the subplot about Helios and Narcissus are passionate and emotional."
Publishers Weekly on Of Prophecies & Pomegranates

“The riotous 1990s blend with the moody, gothic atmosphere of New Orleans, creating a world both nostalgic and imagined…the ideal backdrop for this tale of ancient immortals struggling to find their footing in a world that forgot them.”
